2012 DODGE DART Complaints

I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AND IT SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND IS NOW STUCK THERE. MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING STUCK IN NEUTRAL.

OUR VEHICLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF ON HIGHWAYS, ROADS, ETC. WE ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WHEN WE CAN FINALLY START IT AGAIN THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THEN WANTS TO SHUT DOWN AND THE SCREEN STAYS BLACK FOR A LONG TIME.

THE CLUTCH GETS STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND I'M UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE GEAR INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. SAME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I'M STUCK BECAUSE I CAN GET THE GEAR INTO FIRST TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. ONCE I DO GET THE GEAR TO GO THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD DANGEROUSLY. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UP A HILL THE CAR CAN BARELY MOVE AND THE RPMS GO HIGHER YET THERE'S NO POWER.

MY CLUTCH HAS FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. CANNOT SHIFT. CANNOT CHECK FLUID LEVELS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACCESS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO GET ANY HELP FIXING THIS. FIRST START UP IN THE MORNING. CLUTCH WAS FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE. CLUTCH IS LAYING AGAINST THE FLOOR, BASICALLY USELESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM LOCATED AT 600 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA 93907) WHERE IT WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED, THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED A SECOND TIME UNDER THE RECALL REMEDY AS A COURTESY HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WHERE THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THAT THERE COULD BE A COST FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED TO RECTIFY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,898.

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH WHEN THE WIPERS TURNED ON WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON, FULL SPEED, AND REFUSED TO TURN OFF. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CONTROL SWITCH WHICH CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED AT A DEALER, VERY EXPENSIVE PART.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR HOURS, WHICH HAS AN INCLINE, WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, WHEN IT SUDDENLY ROLLED DOWNED THE DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE STREET INTO A DITCH, THE EMERGENCY LEVER STILL UP, AS IF IT WERE ENGAGED, HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK PULL IT OUT. A YEAR LATER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT WORK AND NOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL

I HAD TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER IN BIDDEFORD IN MAY 2017 C/O THAT MY E-BRAKE WAS NOT HOLDING MY CAR. ONCE I GOT THE CAR BACK I COULD HARDLY LIFT THE BRAKE. I WENT BACK IN AND ASKED WHY IT WAS THAT WAY, THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD LOOSEN UP AS I USE IT. I USED THE BRAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AND IT WENT UP ABOUT AN INCH. THE NEXT TIME I USED IT WAS IN FEBRUARY AND WHEN I PULLED UP ON THE BRAKE LEVEL IT WENT STRAIGHT UP. I CALLED AND LEFT NUMEROUS VM. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I WENT BACK IN ON A SATURDAY FOR MY OIL CHANGE. I TALKED TO A REP THERE AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD LEAVE A NOTE FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME BACK ON MONDAY. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO MAKE AN APPT FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. ONCE THEY FOUND OUT I NO LONGER HAD THE B TO B WARRANTY THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $500. I CALLED AND LEFT A MSG FOR THE GM AND I GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE SALES MANAGER WANTING ME TO TRADED MY CAR IN. I STATED TO HIM I THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING ABOUT THE BRAKE. HE STATED TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL PUT IT ON THE LIFT WHILE I TALK TO SALES. THE REP CAME BACK AND STATED DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. MADE AN APPT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR AND THEY ORDERED A PART FOR MY CAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO BE LOOKED AT BILL DODGE AND THEY STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT MY CALIPERS WHERE STICKING. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY STATED I NEEDED ONE OF MY CALIPERS CHANGED. I STATED I JUST CHANGED ONE THIS SUMMER MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT ONE. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND TOOK MY CAR TO MY FRIEND IN NH. HIS MECHANIC AGAIN STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT FIXED AND THAT THE E-BRAKE IS CAUSING THE CALIPERS TO STICK. I GOT MY CAR BACK AND A WEEK LATER (03/01/2019) I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A CAR HIT MY DRIVER'S DOOR DOING ABOUT 35+. MY AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. I HAVE 4 AIRBAGS AND NOT ONE WENT OFF. OTHER CARS DID.
